5 d. ago Black spaces of the Great Depression: scenes of African American life in the 1930s – in pictures

Depictions of rural life in the south during the Great Depression have been predominantly focused on whiteness, a fuller picture rarely seen. In a new exhibition, the private homes and public gathering spaces of Black southerners are seen in a range of photos that provide a corrective. Images from photographers including Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee, Marion Post Wolcott and Walker Evans, are part of a project commissioned in 1935 but until now, only a narrow selection have been available. Crafting Sanctuaries: Black Spaces of the Great Depression South is on display at the Museum of Art + Light in Manhattan, Kansas Continue reading...

8 d. ago ‘There’s something very interesting about boring’: Martin Parr on his life in pictures

From Benidorm sunbathers to British birdwatchers, for nearly 70 years the photographer has captured the magic of the mundane. What drew him to his subjects - and what do they tell us about a changing world?If you saw Martin Parr and didn’t know who he was, you would barely notice him. He is Mr Invisible and Mr Normal rolled into one, in his sensible jumper – probably from Marks & Spencer – and sensible socks and sandals. He has a neat side parting and neatly cut hair. He has a mild and conventional manner and a mild and conventional appearance. There is something of the naff birdwatcher about him. But do not be fooled. This is the disguise of a man who is seeing far more than most of us ever see, and he’s hiding in plain sight. He is a genius who has changed photography, one of the great artists of our time.So who is Martin Parr? And what would he say if we listened? His life is, in many ways, an everyman’s life: he’s born into a family of mixed characters and classes; he has a ...

1 week ago ‘If the devil did exist, he’d be just such a gentleman’: Neil Jordan remembers Terence Stamp

The Company of Wolves director on casting the late actor and an unforgettable hour on set involving Stamp, a Rolls-Royce and a shrivelled skullObituary of Terence StampTerence Stamp: a life in picturesWe were making The Company of Wolves. And we had a problem. With Angela Carter, I had written a scene where the devil drives a cream-coloured Rolls-Royce through an imaginary forest, chauffeured by the young dreamer Rosaleen, played by Sarah Patterson.My initial thought was for Andy Warhol to play the devil. Those pale-blue eyes and that blank expression framed by the blond wig. Andy read the script and liked it. Stephen Woolley, the producer, flew to New York to talk to him, but he was recovering from being shot by Valerie Solanas, who seemed to think he was the actual devil. He said he would play the part, if we shot his scenes in New York. Continue reading...

2 w. ago Terence Stamp remembered by Priscilla director Stephan Elliott: ‘Those eyes turned everybody to jelly’

The Australian director reflects on his 32-year friendship with Stamp, who was initially ‘absolutely terrified’ to play a trans woman – and their work on the Priscilla sequelTerence Stamp, face of 60s British cinema, dies at 87Stamp was the mesmerising dark prince of British cinemaTerence Stamp: a life in picturesI first saw Terence in The Collector (1965) when I was a kid. It struck in my head as the ultimate horror film – it terrified the daylights out of me. Terence’s greatest beauties were his eyes – in some of the early films you don’t see it, but in person, when they were shining, he could hold a room. He’d sit there and say, “Watch this, I’m going to stop a restaurant.” And he could do it. I saw him do it! It was extraordinary. He once told me that he used to have real fun on Superman when he was bored, stuck on top of the ice castle. “I’d just stare down until everyone went quiet,” he said.We tried many actors when casting Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of ...
